Using DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE macro with the debugfs_create_file()
function adds the overhead of introducing a proxy file operation
functions to wrap the original read/write inside file removal protection
functions. This adds significant overhead in terms of introducing and
managing the proxy factory file operations structure and function
wrapping at runtime.
As a replacement, a combination of DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE macro paired
with debugfs_create_file_unsafe() is suggested to be used instead. The
DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE utilises debugfs_file_get() and
debugfs_file_put() wrappers to protect the original read and write
function calls for the debug attributes. There is no need for any
runtime proxy file operations to be managed by the debugfs core.
This Change is reported by the debugfs_simple_attr.cocci Coccinelle
semantic patch.

I just checked here with
$ make coccicheck M=drivers/gpu/drm/i915/ MODE=context COCCI=./scripts/coccinelle/api/debugfs/debugfs_simple_attr.cocci
The part reported by the this script is the s/SIMPLE/DEBUGFS
but the change to the unsafe option is not.
This commit message is not explaining why the unsafe is the suggested
or who suggested it.
If you remove the unsafe part feel free to resend adding:

Hello Rodrigo,
Thank you so much for your review and feedback on the patch proposal.

> but the change to the unsafe option is not.
If you look at the original commit of this coccinelle file, it calls out the
need for pairing debugfs_create_file_unsafe() as well. Please review this
commitID: 5103068eaca2: ("debugfs, coccinelle: check for obsolete DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() usage")
Based on my review of the code, the functions debugfs_create_file() and
debugfs_create_file_unsafe(), both internally call __debugfs_create_file().
However, they pass debugfs_full_proxy_file_operations and
debugfs_open_proxy_file_operations respectively to it. The former represents the
full proxy factory, where as the later one is lightweight open proxy
implementation of the file operations structure.

If you find the response above accurate, I will include these details about
the _unsafe() function in my commit message in v2.

Please confirm you still believe switching to _unsafe() is not necessary.

+Nicolai and Julia.
It looks like coccinelle got right the
- DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE(dsa_fops, dsa_get, dsa_set, dsa_fmt);
+ DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE(dsa_fops, dsa_get, dsa_set, dsa_fmt);
but it failed badly on
- debugfs_create_file(name, mode, parent, data, &dsa_fops)
+ debugfs_create_file_unsafe(name, mode, parent, data, &dsa_fops)

Based on the coccinelle commit it looks like you are right, but cocinelle
just failed to detect the case. Let's see what Nicolai and Julia respond

I'm not an expert on this issue. If the semantic patch needs to change in
some way, I would be happy to take any improvements.

Hi Julia, thanks for helping here.
So, my question is why this
make coccicheck M=drivers/gpu/drm/i915/ MODE=context COCCI=./scripts/coccinelle/api/debugfs/debugfs_simple_attr.cocci
didn't catch this chunck:
- debugfs_create_file("i915_fbc_false_color", 0644, parent,
- fbc, &intel_fbc_debugfs_false_color_fops);
+ debugfs_create_file_unsafe("i915_fbc_false_color", 0644, parent,
+ fbc, &intel_fbc_debugfs_false_color_fops);
When I run it it only catches and replaces this:
- DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE(dsa_fops, dsa_get, dsa_set, dsa_fmt);
+ DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE(dsa_fops, dsa_get, dsa_set, dsa_fmt);
But looking to the .cocci script or at least to its description,
I believe it should catch both cases.
But if it is not a bug in the cocci script, then I'd like to hear
from Nicolai why. And have this documented in the script.
Thanks,
Rodrigo.

There is something strange in your question. You have MODE=context but
you show the output for MODE=patch. The rule dcf matches a call to
debugfs_create_file, and the context rule matching DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE
is only activated if dcf succeeds. So when the context rule gives a
report, there is always a corresponding call to debugfs_create_file in the
same file, it is just not highlighted. So the request is that it should
be highlighted as well?

Hello Rodrigo,
Not trying to speak for you, but I think Julia's comment appears to be the
correct interpretation of your observation. Would you mind confirming/clarifying
and suggest next steps for this proposal?
Thank you,

doh! newby coccinelle user detected! My bad, sorry!
make coccicheck M=drivers/gpu/drm/i915/ MODE=patch COCCI=./scripts/coccinelle/api/debugfs/debugfs_simple_attr.cocci
do shows everything.
So, could you please mention this line in the commit message so we don't forget that?
Also could you please provide patches for the other cases?
1 patch for each file is desirable in this case since it touches different areas.
